Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Any railroad corporation chartered by
or organized under the laws of the United States, or of any state or
territory, whose constructed railroad shall reach or intersect the boundary
line of this state at any point, may extend its railroad into the state from
any such point or points to any place or places within this state, and may
build branches from any point on such extension. Before making such extension,
or building any such branch road, such corporation shall, by resolution of its
directors or trustees, to be entered in the record of its proceedings,
designate the route of such proposed extension or branch by indicating the
place from and to which such extension or branch is to be constructed, and the
estimated length of such extension or branch, and the name of each county in
this state through or into which it is constructed or intended to be
constructed, and file a copy of such record, certified by the president and
secretary, in the office of the secretary of state, who shall indorse thereon
the date of filing thereof and record the same. Thereupon such corporation
shall have all the rights and privileges to make such extension, or build such
branch, and receive such aid thereto as it would have had had it been
authorized so to do by articles of incorporation duly filed in accordance with
the laws of this state. It shall be the duty of railroad companies, when
intersecting or crossing any other railroad in this state, to so arrange their
sidetracks or switches that cars or freight may be readily transferred from
one track to the other at the option of the shipper.
